I feel silly even asking this, but here goes.

Typically, I have my Start button in the lower left hand corner, and my desktop icon tray in the lower right.

My son got a hold of the computer, and suddenly, the buttons and tray are in a blue section running from top to bottom on the right hand side. When I minimize, the screen shrinks to the right, not to the bottom.

How do I return my settings to normal??? I cannot even imagine what he clicked on to move them, but I need to get them back. Thanks!

Click on an empty part of the taskbar and drag it back down to the bottom. Then right-click on it and select "Lock the Taskbar"

Thanks, Dogbert! I got the taskbar back to the bottom and was able to shrink it down to the appropriate size.

Thank you so much.
